Baby Month!

It is the 15^th of the month and that means I am showing you a new Dueling Darlings card.  For our September Challenge, Donna and Judy are the hostesses. They decided on the theme-Babies!   Donna is one of the Dazzlers and Judy is Diva, like me, and we are all Dueling Darlings!  And, we have been doing this since August of 2010--so we are into our 9th year!

Judy sent us this sweet B is For Baby from Hanna Stamps.  She included the sweet sentiment that you will see in the inside.  She also sent us some pretty patterned paper along with a variety of fun embellishments. This was fun card to make.

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope all of the Darlings enjoy my card this month. Please be sure to stop in to see what all of the Divas as well the Dazzlers have created this month. We will be here in October, so be sure to check back!  Tracie and I  are the hostesses for October!

There are a few members who do not have blogs:  Suzy who is on the Diva team and Debby and Terry S who are Dazzlers.  You will be able to check out their creations in their SCS gallery, if you click on the link for their name.  All of the others should be found on my left sidebar.  I am sure you will enjoy all of the wonderful creations this month!

It is the start of February 2017, and I am the recipient of the card kits in January.  I have received all of the kits and I trying to get them all done in February.  I have two months after "my" month to complete and post my cards, so I do have until the end of March, but I am going to try to get them down much sooner.  My goal for this card kit group this time around is to make two projects from every kit.  Every person who sends me a kit includes quite a few images--and many times there are a couple of different images included in each kit.  And, they senders are very generous in the papers and embellishments, so I can easily make two projects from each kit.   Wish me Luck on both counts!  Oh, and in case you have not made the connection if you are a frequent visitor to my blog, my wish list for the month of kits was Snow!  Snowmen, snowflakes, snowing, and in this case--skiing in the snow!

This card is from kit #3, sent by Kelly.   Kelly sent a fun kit with 2 different images and a bunch of matching images--mittens, scarves, skis and a sentiment--Ski Bunny!  She also included a bunch of great patterned papers and matching embellishments for me to use.  I hope I did OK and that Kelly likes my creations.  Thanks for a great kit Kelly--Thanks Bunches!!!!  My second card with the sweet snowman image Kelly sent will be on my blog tomorrow!

Three kits down--9 to go!  This group runs the entire year of 2017 and we have someone to send to every month, until December.

Can you tell something special that I did with the panel of zig zag patterned paper?   It is at an angle, yes--but why is that special for this image?  I also used a glitter pen on the goggles, ski bots and the heart in the sentiment.
